## What is DIGIX AMR1?

The DIGIX AMR1 camera delivers authentic retro vibes inspired by classic Japanese camera design and engineering. We drew on iconic 1980s 35mm film SLR cameras like the Canon AE-1 and Minolta SR-1, along with modern cameras like the Fujifilm X100VI, to create a camera app masterpiece worth owning. The nostalgic aesthetic taps into vintage photography culture.

Use the AMR1 in Auto Mode for quick, easy shooting, or, just like a classic 1980s camera, switch to fully Manual Mode to control focus, shutter speed, ISO, exposure compensation, and switch between iPhone lenses with real focal length and aperture data. Manual Mode unlocks the full creativity of the photography craft, letting you create film-like visuals and authentic images with intentional control — just like shooting with a real film camera. Now including 8 film simulations, inspired by the film stocks we used in the 1980s.

The DIGIX AMR1 camera is a great learning tool to understand the Exposure Triangle and the relationships between shutter speed, ISO, and aperture. Controlling the exposure triangle, plus focus, exposure compensation, and all the lenses on your iPhone, gives you total creative control over the photography craft.

Auto Mode - Free for Everyone:

All users get Auto Mode free. The camera automatically controls focus, shutter speed, and ISO for quick and easy photo-taking.

Full Access - Manual Mode:

Get Full Access to unlock Manual Mode. Control focus, shutter speed, ISO, exposure compensation, and switch between all your iPhone lenses. Just like a classic camera.

### 5/5 — Great Retro Feel

Nice retro feel to this app I especially like meter needle that tells you when the exposure is correct 
Bought the full package manual control is a great feature from ISO etc

### 5/5 — Simply Amazing!!

*2021-02-07*

This is so creative and I love looking through the lens of a camera.  I’ve always enjoyed taking photos with my Canon and manually making adjustments so being able to play with the buttons is fantastic!!

### 5/5 — If you love taking pictures...

*2021-01-30*

This is the most fun app I have found for playing around with manual settings. The Auto mode works well but  the target audience for this app will probably be people who want more control over aperture, ISO, shutter speed and focus. 
If you are struggling with getting away from Auto mode on a DSLR this app may make it a little simpler to learn. 
For those who seldom use Auto mode on their cameras this is a fun app. 
It’s a bargain. Glad I found it.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much!
